T- Generation

Your body is a resilient, beautiful, and capable machine that too often doesn’t get the time, attention, and love it deserves.

You can run, jump, twist, carry, throw, pull, push, press—so much more. Each of us gets to build a unique and powerful relationship with movement.

Now, before you jump to conclusions, know that this isn’t about toxic fitness culture or body conformity.

You know that’s not our vibe ❌

This is about you deserving a relationship with the strength that lets you live life on your terms.

You deserve to feel capable and operate from a place that honors your passion and hard work. When you prioritise your personal strength, everyone wins.

Real strength starts two ways:

☝️Ask for help. Hit up the coaches’ call link in our Linktree and say hi to our friendly team.

✌️Demand better for yourself. If your current gym isn’t helping you thrive, it’s time to say, “F** this, I’m out!”

Ready to leave behind the stories of fragility that no longer serves you?

Ready to embrace strength and perseverance with a community that honors and celebrates your personal journey?

Good. Project STRONK: The September Edition is ON 💪

Don’t wait until January 1st—be a leader and take that first step now.

Cannot wait to meet you

Much love ❤️ 


New date 💫

Build your autonomy 🤟

Class is in session 👩‍🏫

Come learn the key points of program writing, and create your own 6wk program.

Whether your goals are aesthetic, general health, or even preparing for an event like TTO, there is always a certain structure that is best suited to the specific goal, AND, the individual human who is striving for it.

Not everyone has access to the right coach for them, so the T Gen team is stepping in to demystify some of the big grey areas around training, and educate you all on how to build your own basic program 💪

This is for the honeys who want to feel more autonomy in gym spaces, and who want to feel more confident in their training. Whether or not you’ve been coached, if you have limited knowledge on how a program is built then this is for you!

We’ll be covering some of the most common Qs we get asked, such as;
- How many days per week should I train?
- How long should each session be?
- Which exercises will help me develop x, y, z?
- Um what is a program?? Halp?
- Intensity, rest times, volume, deloading, tapering and more!

And you’ll walk away with your very own 6wk program that you’ve built yourself, with the insight of the T Gen Team so you can feel confident that it’s going to help you move towards YOUR goals 🔥

You are entitled to gym spaces.

You are entitled to education.

You are entitled to have autonomy.

Let’s learn and grow TOGETHER

Booking info TBA.

See you at T Gen Gym babyyyy

Stay hot. Stay fierce.
We love you

Time to get ready babyyyyy 🤟

So, you’re thinking about showcasing your hard work and strength at Trans Takeover 3.0?

Now is the time to begin getting your ducks in a row to give you the best opportunity to be prepared come game day 🦆🦆🦆

For some of you this will mean beginning to kit out your gym bag, investigating which equipment to purchase if you’re looking to take your performance to the highest level you can, and entering the early stages of prep training to get your body and mind locked in for the physical, mental, and emotional demands of the day.

Training for an event like TTO can range from intense focus for 16 weeks for some athletes, and a specific but relatively mild 10 week effort for others.

Both are correct 🙌

Keep an eye on our socials, and over the next few months we’ll be announcing seminars and workshops designed to help YOU learn the skills to get ready for TTO 3.

Buckle in, folks! This is gunna be an event you don’t wanna miss.

We love you,
Team T Gen

What even is gains?

Have I been making any??

Training requires a diverse range of skills, and as a result it means that progress can look very different throughout our respective journeys.

⬇️⬇️⬇️

The most classic examples of progress relate to how strong we are or how much our appearance has changed, but what if we told you there are so many more examples of progress that can go unnoticed at times🐤

For our strength to increase, or aesthetic to change it requires a lot of consistency over a long period of time in many different habits. Maybe you’re not getting stronger during a certain period of time, but have maybe you've maintained better sleep hygiene for more days each week than usual, or have you been generally finding it easier to get to the gym to begin with?

There are other examples of progress, too.

Like finding training to be more fun, or having a greater appreciation for how valuable your training is to you. Learning to take time away from training can be an area of progress, also. No one can always be training hard and pushing the limits all the time. Everyone needs to de-prioritise training in order to re-energise but that can be an enormous challenge, and learning to relax into those periods and find the value in them is an important part of the many realms of progress 🙌

Training is a lifestyle. It impacts every facet of our existence one way or another, and to different degrees for us all. There is no singular channel of progress, it is not linear, and each channel influences the others, so just because your strength or aesthetic hasn’t changed it does not mean you haven’t been gradually moving closer to those goals by subconsciously or consciously progressing in the more subtle channels that impact the larger goals.

Progress is not what mainstream media has told us it is.

Read that again sweets.

If you are giving it an honest effort, you are making progress. If you want to boost your progress, reach out for guidance.

We love you,
Team T Gen

📣 Not all movement gets you gains 📣

When you have a goal in mind for what you want to achieve with your body it’s important to understand that not just any kind of movement will help you get there.

The human body is profoundly adaptable and can be trained to do almost anything you could think of. Whether that be endurance rock climbing, building the strongest or fittest body you can, or training to manage chronic pain, the human body can adapt to all of it.

But each goal has its own specific training👏

YES, almost any style of movement will have a spectrum of benefits relevant to many goals. But what is most relevant to you right now?

Do you want to build muscle?

Focus your energy on compound movements with DBs, BBs, and some machines 🏋‍♀️

Are you strong asf but want to increase your mobility?

Add a yoga session into your training even if you have to reduce your strength training to fit it in 🤸‍♀️

Do you have chronic pain you want to manage?

Find out why you’re in pain. Will increasing your general strength help, or do you need to focus on a particular area that has been injured 🤕

Human movement is an immensely broad spectrum and not all of it will be relevant to your goals.

Strength training is not the best way to increase your cardio fitness.

Yoga is not the best way to increase your overall strength.

And sit ups are not how you build “core” strength.

Take a moment. What do you want?

Then DM us so we can shed light on the path to get there 🕯

Training is both complex, and very simple. Let us help guide the way to that thing you thought was just a pipe dream 🌠

Big love
Team Tgen

More people sharing space and removing anxiety for all is a vibe.

Lifting in pain sucks right….

Especially when moving is so important to many of us

But does that mean we need to just TOTALLY stop training and not move again until we feel 100%?

Not necessarily

Instead of just completely stopping everything you are doing, pain can be a valuable tool to help us understand what is happening and to help us, help you navigate a solution.

Now, we are not saying that we want you to be in pain 24/7 and just get on with it…… not a vibe.

It’s all about how do we manage this!

Here are a few initial areas that we look at when our members come to us in pain (in no particular order):

Overall Workload: How much training/everyday movement overall does this cutie do?

Pace: Are you jumping up into complexity/weights too quickly sweets?

Deload: Does the pain reduce or disappear when we take a few plates off the bar? Do we need to pull off some volume (i.e. sets/reps) - from a particular muscle group or exercise?

Recovery: What is your life like outside the gym? Poor sleep, limited mobility, mental health had better days, stress at work? Yes, all of this impacts the body and yes the body does leave signs.

Positioning: Adjusting your stance, positioning, grip - better/worse?

Lifting Homework: Have we been doing our physio/Osteo homework?

Exercise Selection: Is this movement supporting sustainable training for you or is it just causing you to not recover?

When: Does it hurt during the set or does it come in later that night?

Pain is not the end my friends and we are here to help you through it ❤️

Much love,
Team T Gen

Trying something new can be a LOT of fun 🤩

Trying something new can also be really scary😲

Here is the Open Workout we will be running on Saturday so you an have a looksie 👀

Don’t if you don’t know what each of the individual movements are - we will explain in person.

All time-based, move at a pace that affirms and all adaption needs will be workshopped with the coaches on the day.

We want you to have fun and enjoy yourself❤️

Come for a sweat and lift then we will do a food together 🍔

Slide into our DMs if you have any questions.

See you on Saturday - Couple of workout spaces left

Much love,
Team T Gen ❤️

Are you sick of training around dude bros, being surrounded by endless ‘weightloss’ challenges, garbage social norms and demoralising aesthetic focus-only gym spaces? 😑

OR Maybe you have your program or just like to do your own thing in a space that affirms? 🤔

Yeah, we get it - us too 😵‍💫

Did you know we have a 24/7 Open Gym Access-only membership? 😲

With open gym, you get your 24/7 fob key and access to the new cute super movement space for the body and mind.

Plug into the social community with our events, online support network or just watch the community notice board.

📻 Level 1 is where we have all our heavy lifting like the deadlift platform, racks, barbells, sled, farmers carry, heavier dbs, bumpers and calibrated iron plates.

📻 Level 2 is a bit more chill with machines, more DBs, benches, cables, plate-loaded machines and the only place in the gym with a mirror, if a good selfie or form check is a vibe

After your safety induction and set-up, you are welcome to use the space at a time that suits you best.

All we ask is that everything goes back to its home so we can keep the space clean and tidy for all folks to use.

Don’t take our word for it, grab your mates and come see for yourself this Saturday at our open day between 11am & 1pm 🔥

3/52 Bakers rd, Coburg North

Did you know that over the years we have had multiple members become coaches with us themselves?

Completing their apprenticeship alongside us and now being the person that others look up to for support on their movement journey.

How amazing is that 🥹

The greatest honour we could ever have is our people trusting and loving what we do so much that they want to spread the joy and empowerment of movement to others

This is everything ❤️

Forever grateful and honoured

Shout out your favourite coach below and tell them and how much they helped you on your journey. Believe me, you will make their day 😘

OMG what ??

A timetable ??

Team Training Summer Timetable is up and running Folks ☀️

What does it mean? 🤔

Well….. these are the session times that we will be initially running within our new space from the 29th of January.

What style of Sessions are these? 🤔

Team Training is built leading from a general strength program framework.

In these sessions, where we work through movements such as Squats, Bench Press, Deadlifts, and Shoulder Press but basically, we learn to lift heavy s**t safely at a pace that suits your body, in a space filled with G**Y bangers and lots of love & laughs. All programming is created by our qualified T Gen coaching team as we aim to create balance, strength and body autonomy with each session.

Lift da heavy, make life light 😏

Conditioning is more of the huffy puffy work, designed for general heart health and cardiovascular development ❤️🔥 Helps us all not be out of breath as much aye and much much easier with a friend 😮‍💨

Big sweat, big smiles ☺️💦

How do I Book? 🤔

Once sign-up is all done then T Gen peeps get a super easy app to book your sessions in for the week - we will show you how to use it 😎

All of these sessions are designed for various levels and will use a variety of equipment ranging from barbells and dumbbells to kettlebells and ropes 💪

All of our sessions can be scaled and altered for affirmation, rehab/relevant body needs and/or if we are just having a tired day. Our coaches are here to support you, not run you into the ground (unless that’s your new 2024 kink 😈😜)

Book your FREE movement assessment today or jump straight to our link tree and select the membership that best affirms you 🔥

For the athletes 🏋‍♀️

Thank you 🙏

Thank you for role modelling courage

Thank you for role modelling confidence

And most importantly, thank you for role modelling self-love 💖

Our community is rich with strength and empowerment and joy and love, but too often is news or representation of this clouded by acts against us by people who are afraid and jealous of what we embody

At TTO 2 our athletes were a beacon that could shine through those clouds and make the love and strength of our community undeniable to every single person in the room or watching online 🌻

If you can’t SEE it, you can’t BE it

And at TTO we all fking saw it

When we moved into 2.0, we remember how nervous and excited we were. The anxiety was REAL!

We started in a warehouse with a dream and a few coins to rub together and NO idea how to make it happen.

Through hard work, community belief in us and more Google searches than we care to admit (lol), we took from 1.0 to 2.0 on Lygon St in Brunny in 2021. We only lasted 4 months in our first space #1.0 (more on that later)

The speed of the world and the numerous necessary calls to action do not allow us to stop and reflect on how far our respective journeys have taken us sometimes.

So here are a few cute snapshots from our start at 2.0 when we were still finding our feet (aren’t we always).

Humans tend to overestimate what we can do in a year but underestimate what we can do over 5 years. We are so proud of our teamtgem fam 🙂

Keep dreaming big my loves ❤️

Everything that has ever happened has always started with a dream.

Dream big 💕

Much love,
Team T Gen

1 week out!!

Take a moment to look back on how far you’ve come❤️

What would baby-you think if they could see you now, in the final days before testing your mettle at a TGD powerlifting showcase?

Did you ever see this in your future?

Your focus and hard work will inspire more TGD people to take action on reclaiming their empowerment through movement 🌈

You are helping pave the way for our community to envision a better future 🌈

You are helping TGD people learn what it means to prioritise one’s own health and bodily autonomy 🌈

You are showing them the strength of our community!

Every single athlete lifting alongside you will know it takes an absolute badass to follow through with an event like this. And whether it’s a 20 kilo lift or a 200 kilo lift, and every single person in the crowd will be moved by your courage to push your limits

Stay bad x

Stay focussed x

Get that pasta down your gullet and hit those last few sessions folks, TTO is just around the corner🤟

Now is the time to start prepping your gym bag for game-day🎒

Have you got your shoes, your belt, your soft suit (or b***y shorts for some of you lo🍑l)?

Make sure you’ve got your sachet’s of gatorade or squeezy bottle of honey for quick carbs on the day, hell even a couple little cans of red bull is a smart safety measure to give you that energy hit towards the end if you need

Make sure your headphones are charged and any other sensory items are accounted for and ready to go🐛

And the real clever folks will pack a spare pair of shorts cos we all know ANYTHING can happen in the bottom of a heavy squat☺️

Whether it be the ultimate stretch test for your shorts or a very quick bodily evacuation we’ve all been there and having a back-up is a precaution you’ll be grateful for

What are your specialty items to pack for TTO?

I’ll be on the spare shorts and squeezy bottle of honey lol🍯

When is enough, enough??

For most of our training beyond the initial few weeks/months we want the last 1-3 reps of each set to noticeably slow down. This is a good guide to make sure our training is hard enough to stimulate growth 🙌

But there’s only so much work each muscle can do in any given session before its reached a point of fatigue that stops us from having enough intensity to encourage the muscle to grow 🤌

A great way to ensure we have the best chance of stimulating the muscle enough to grow without pushing it into tremendous levels of fatigue is by spreading the exercises for each muscle group out over the week

For example☝️; a 3 day program could have a main lift for each day, plus the accessory movements for a different main lift. This could look like:

Mon: Squat w/ upper body pull movements
Thur: Bench Press w/ lower body pull movements
Sat: Deadlift w/ upper body press movements

By spreading the workload throughout the week it allows us to hit each exercise with intensity because we aren’t fatiguing the muscle from the main lift and then torturing it with 5 more exercises. It also means the body can do smaller and more frequent recoveries that don’t have us totally exhausted and wincing on our rest days🥹

There are many different methods of spreading the workload across the week, this is a simple and effective way that works for beginners through to elite lifters

Have you written your own program?

Are all your pressing movements on the same day🤔

Try shifting them around a little so each day has a main lift followed by smaller movements for another body part

It doesn’t have to be perfect. Try it and see how it feels

Alter your training split until it feels just right. Everyone is different and requires a little tweaks here n there

Remember, if you get stuck just reach out and we’ll point you in the direction you want to go 🤘

Big love,
Team T Gen
